Insights into Kone's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2023, Kone generated a total of 40,000 metric tonnes of waste. a
Of this amount, 89% of Kone's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 7.75% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion. The remaining 3.25% was either treated using unspecified methods or not clearly categorized. a
Kone's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of Kone's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2023, Kone reported a total waste generation of 40,000 metric tonnes, of which 89% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This high recovery rate suggests that Kone has implemented strong circular economy practices and actively prioritizes sustainable waste management. a
Has Kone reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2021, Kone's total waste generation increased by 6.95%, including a 2.56% increase in 2023, indicating a persistent upward trend that may reflect scaling operations, inefficiencies in resource use, or a lack of effective waste minimization practices. a
Over the same period, Kone's waste recovery rate increased by 4.34%, including a 4.23% rise in 2023, indicating growing emphasis on circularity and improved operational practices for diverting waste from disposal. a
Overall, Kone has seen a consistent rise in waste generation both over the long term and in the year 2023. However, the company has also steadily improved its waste recovery performance, suggesting that it is actively working to offset the environmental consequences of increased production through enhanced circularity efforts.
